I was about to take up this project and use those ... well then

http://www.muzique.com/pcb.htm ... either the minibooster or the mosfet booster ... pcbs are a little bigger than an inch  by inch and a quarter ... tiny

fwiw I always start every desolder by adding fresh lead solder and flux ... I'll even add more during the process if I find things quit moving

I use the little bulb solder sucker for blowing solder out a hole, I use the spring loaded sucker for pulling solder up, and I use flux soaked braid for cleaning pads or lifting excess solder up.

I am a big believer in using a vise or helping hands so I get both hands free and gravity on my side.

I also subscribe to destroying a part vs destroying a board (short of something I simply can't replace)

so you want a zvex candela vibrophase then?

I remember when someone brought me a gibson ga-35 they bought off ebay because they saw an Uncle Doug video where he modified one ...

They're telling me all about the video and how he made it sound better while I was pulling the chassis out of the cabinet. When I got the amp out and on my bench I stopped them and said, "I don't care what you saw on the internet. This is a flying spaghetti monster of shit."

their description of the sound makes me think they just added a jfet buffer to the input and a charge pump for power

Remember the Gibson-era Orange amps? ... UGH

got plenty of experience in networking and security ... hit me up if you need help, my day job is in network access control and software defined perimeter products

the blues songwriters he's lifting lyrical content from probably were.

I assume the temporary tags for sale is probably somewhere tax abusive like Virginia where not only is personal property taxed like a mofo but if you get delinquent on anything they tack on that DMV stop that keeps you from renewing as well 

I'd also like to note exactly how off-topic this has gotten, in case anyone is keeping score

re: the boss tonebender ... I mean, I want it and all but I don't think I'd have the wallet to run with them bulls

Blackheart Little Giant ... even managed to hold onto two 1x10 matching cabinets. Currently unmodified and I may well keep it that way. I don't particularly feel the need to carve this amp up to make it "better"

It has been miserable, just looking to a conclusion at this point ...
My early voting experience included demonstrators clogging the sidewalks and parking lots of the polling location with endless horn honking of support coming from the street. Demonstrators were waving their candidate's campaign flags, Confederate battle flags, with a few Gadsden flags mixed in. Oddly missing was the American flag.

They were my favorite by far ... I thought their 40-18031 was a beast of a transformer for single-ended amps

lost another monster of outlaw country today so I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver's contributions to one of my favorite Waylon albums ...
